$600,000 Homes in West Virginia, Missouri and Massachusetts

House, house, and a condo. Guess which municipality came in at 1/3 or 1/2 the size of its fellow offerings (alongside hundreds of additional monthly dollars in condo fees)

If one more person tries to sell me solar through unsolicited calls, texts, or canvasses, you can start calling me Lexie Luthor because I'm going to blow up the sun

BATEMAN: When I see a pretty girl, one part of me wants to take her out and talk to her and be real nice and sweet.

NEWSOM: What does the other part think?

BATEMAN: What her head would look like on a stick.

NEWSOM: I'm so glad we can still have civil conversations across the aisle in this country

All of us, waiting on a transfer fee for the portion over 1 mil

The last line of this pulled quote is equal parts curse and condemnation.

The United States summed up in two headlines.

Boston was full of joy this weekend while the streets were void of cars

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

That race taught me a lot about GOTV, but also about how important it is to have a candidate that deeply cares more for their constituency than for the particular position.

If they wouldn't serve the people without the seat, they shouldn't be running.

Flashbacks to canvass captaining on Election Day for Pressley's inaugural, where pollsters put us behind even that morning.

Turning out new voters, young voters, diverse voters = upsets for the ages

Polling data from Harris & Associates 1966. Q: Do you approve of what Freedom Riders are Doing? 22% approve 61%disapprove18%no opinion.

I just like to post these data from time to time to puncture the mythological aura of mid 20th c protests. They were less popular than pretty much any 21st c mass action & people criticizing them used the same lines. Protest is about people coming together, shaping narratives, & building power.

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

"We're not worriers. We're warriors."

Closing out with what future Boston looks like

Wu on the federal threat: We have the history of being the oldest because we have a history of being the first. Libraries, subways, marriage equality, and more.

If we [resourced, connected] can't speak out right now, who will? Anyone who has a platform that can take the risk needs to.

Dart: Shares Malcolm X's Roxbury roots, and how many beloved Bostonians were not born here

"You just have to be and exude everything that is Boston...You're here now, we're all Bostonians."

What is your idea of a real Bostonian - Wu: Someone who speaks their mind, explains "kind but not nice" rep.

My favorite fictive kinship aunty Venmo'd me $5 to get a donut this morning, and that is a very delicious way to find out it is Eid al-Adha.

Eid Mubarak, my friend! ✨️🌙🙏🏾
